Skin Needling Perth

In some cases, skin needling in Perth goes by the name of microneedling therapy or collagen induction therapy. It uses a micro-needling tool to induce controlled skin damage as part of a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation process.

It uses radial discs with fine microneedles of various diameters and lengths. These are made of various materials, including polymers, metals, glass, and silicons. The needles can be up to 3 mm long, although they are usually 0.5 mm long to reduce bleeding and promote quick healing.

It is one of the safest skin-treatment techniques available. The results from chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser therapies are improved when coupled with skin needling Perth. 

How Does Skin Needling Work?

Each tiny needle prick leaves a channel or microscopic wound in the skin. After ten minutes, the generated microchannels naturally shut, maintaining the integrity of the epidermal barrier. It, in a sense, injures the superficial dermal collagen strands and small blood vessels on the skin’s surface. This triggers a reaction within the skin for repair. This “repair” leads to new capillaries, elastin, and collagen, improving skin texture, firmness, and moisture. This is what provides the skin with a healthy glow. 

Benefits of Skin Needling.

Skin needling, combined with various facials, has a wide variety of benefits, such as:

• Improving loose skin.

What May I Anticipate Following Skin Needling?

After skin needling Perth, your skin may burn or feel tight for a few days or weeks. In addition, some people have dry, flaky skin, which is improved by moisturizer.

Most people require several skin needling sessions, often spaced 3 to 8 weeks apart. Results may not be seen for three to six months. The procedure may then need to be repeated once a year for maintenance.

While many people believe that skin needling will hurt, numbing cream is actually utilized during the treatment to ensure that all patients are comfortable. The process will begin with a good thorough cleaning of your face and neck area. You should arrive at your appointment without makeup on when possible. Once the area is dry, the numbing cream can be applied.

Aftercare of Skin Needling

You may notice excessive dryness that should be treated with gentle moisturizers. You can use makeup and topical products as normal the day following treatment. Remember that this treatment leaves microholes or small wounds, so ensure that your makeup and applicators are clean.
